Around nine in the morning, the second of October.
After a night of bumpy driving, Jiang He's sports car finally stopped outside his yard.
No one knew what Jiang He had gone through that night …
It was too difficult!
After driving for an entire night, he finally managed to fall asleep. However, in less than an hour, he encountered a huge river. The bridge over the river had been destroyed by some ferocious beast.
Hence, Jiang He had to carry the car with one hand and cross the river.
After crossing the river, Jiang He did not sleep for long before he ran into a Feral blocking his way.
Two Ferals in heat were fighting in the middle of the road …
Jiang He had no choice but to cut them down and throw them aside before continuing on his way.
After that, he ran into three more Feral ambushes.
Just as he got out of the car, Dumbo and Trumbo ran up to him, wagging their tails cheerfully in greeting.
Jiang He scowled and kicked Trumbo, barking, "You're a cat. What are you doing wagging your tail like a dog?"
"Meow ~"
Trumbo whimpered, feeling wronged.
"Whimpering, my foot. Get to the car and move stuff."
Meow ~
Trumbo whimpered again, and its body expanded, turning into a muscle cat to move stuff from the car.
"Master!"
Sora walked up to him and said charmingly, "Master, you must be tired from the long journey. Do you need me to prepare breakfast for you?"
"No need for breakfast. I had a boxed lunch in the car after killing the Ferals last night. By the way, did anything happen at home while I was away at Jiangnan?" Jiang He entered the mansion and sat down on the sofa. Sora promptly went up to him and massaged his shoulders and back.
"Miss Wang came yesterday, but left when she saw that you weren't around. She asked me to tell you to call her when you get back, and it seems that she has something to discuss with you."
Her soft little hands were well-controlled, and Jiang He's entire body relaxed.
Miss Wang?
Wang Siyu?
Jiang He said nothing and continued enjoying Sora's massage.
He leaned back on the sofa and rested for a while before getting up and leaving the mansion.
Outside, Dumbo and Trumbo had already unloaded the Tupperware and the box containing the rank-nine meat. They were now crouching on the ground, with stainless steel basins and ladles placed in front of them as they stared at Jiang He eagerly.
Jiang He took out several pieces of Leopard Python meat and rewarded the cat and dog with five blended qi pellets each before picking up the rank-nine Feral meat and entering the yard.
With a thought, Jiang He checked his stats panel.

"Eh?"
Jiang He was taken aback at that, and exclaimed in surprise, "Since when did my Dragon Elephant Prajna reach the fourth tier??"
Jiang He clearly remembered that the Dragon Elephant Prajna was still at the second tier just a few days ago …
He mused about it for a while and figured out the crux of the matter.
Perhaps as his cultivation level skyrocketed, his comprehension of thunder concept and sword intent had strengthened his physical body to a certain extent, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, to put it bluntly, was actually a technique that strengthened the physical body, blood, and blood.
Since his physique had improved, it made sense that this thing would improve as well …
After all, Jiang He had even cultivated the Ninefold Thunderblade and forcibly grasped thunder will in passing.
"Sigh!"
"This feeling of improving my cultivation without me knowing is really annoying."
Jiang He sighed, a little speechless.
'At least give me a hint when you level up. Every time, I would ascend and level up mysteriously like this. It feels like I'm a salted fish, and it's so hard to stop!'
Jiang He was left dumbstruck when he glanced at the Farm Level Requirement.
The level-up materials column stated: one portion of rank-nine Feral flesh (100kg), two portions of rank-eight Feral flesh (300kg each), Orirock x10.
"One portion of rank-nine Feral flesh and two portions of rank-eight Feral flesh???"
After a while.
Jiang He only came to his senses then.
Did he remember wrongly?
Fine!
He must have remembered wrongly. He vaguely remembered that it was two portions of rank-nine Ferals … why else would he have to go through so much trouble? He had already cut down a rank-nine Feral back on Chongming Island.
Still, that was fine.
Rank-nine Feral flesh was a great supplement. Though he had no use for it now, it was suitable for feeding cats and dogs. Unbeknownst to him, the flesh of rank-nine Ferals in the outside world was worth more than a hundred million in the Superpower Research Department.
Taking out his Dragon-Slaying Saber, Jiang He cut off a piece of rank-nine Feral flesh and took out two rank-eight Ferals from his System Backpack with a wave of his hand.
Snikt!
With a flash of his blade, the two pieces of rank-eight Feral flesh were cut off.
Jiang He then slapped out with his palm.
Kaboom!
A palm-shaped crater instantly appeared on the ground.
He threw in one piece of rank-nine Feral flesh and two pieces of rank-eight Feral flesh … as for whether the weight was enough … that was not a problem he had to consider.
After that, Jiang He took out ten Orirocks from his System Backpack and threw them into the crater.
He then found a shovel and filled the crater. In the next split second, a special energy emanated from the crater and instantly spread throughout the entire yard.
Under the influence of this force, the soil in the garden began to undergo earth-shaking changes. Even the willow tree planted in the garden began to grow wildly. Tender leaves also began to sprout on the graves in the corner of the garden.
The walls around the yard were also rapidly pushed away under the influence of that energy.
[Ding!]
[Your farm area is expanding …]
[The quality of your farm's soil is improving …]
"…"
[Farm expansion complete.]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully improved your farm to level four. Additional rewards: Mysterious Seed x1, System Backpack + 6 boxes, cultivation manual planting x3.]
[Ding!]
[Seed purchase clearance from System Shop unlocked.]
The consecutive System Notifications jingled, leaving Jiang He's spirit shaken.
He looked at the System Panel again to find that his farm level had improved from level three to level four, and his owned land area had increased from 888m ² to 3 Mu.
Being inside his farm, Jiang He could directly feel his farm's enlargement.
And yet, when he looked up, he found that his own mansion and the walls of his neighbors' houses were still there.
Reasonably speaking, his yard was just over 2 Mu, and now that his farm had expanded to over 3 Mu, it would definitely occupy his neighbors' and his own yard. But that was not the case.
Jiang He stepped out of his farm and stood outside his yard for a look. Then, he leaped up to the top of his mansion to look down, only to find in shock that his farm was still the same size as before, and nothing else had changed!
"That's …"
Jiang He's gaze twitched as he came to a realization. "Did my farm become a separate space after it leveled up?" “
That was the only possibility that could explain the change. Still, Jiang He was a little disappointed that his farm did not become a 'portable' farming space like in novels.
"Not now doesn't mean it won't work in the future."
"Leveling up and expanding the space inside proves that it's a world of its own. Perhaps it could be portable when it reaches level five!"
Jiang He leaped down from his mansion and returned to his farm.
With a turn of his hand, a black seed appeared in his palm.
[Mysterious Seed].
Jiang He had received a Mysterious Seed from his monthly gift pack, and now that he had received another after his System leveled up, Jiang He was a little speechless …
Wouldn't it be nice if you directly marked out the seed's type and effect?
Did you have to be so secretive?
Jiang He hence put away the Mysterious Seed, ready to plant it last. He had accumulated quite a lot of good stuff now, and he could not plant them all anytime soon.
Calling out to Dumbo and instructing it to dig a hole, Jiang He's eyes then turned towards the willow tree at the center of the farm. It had been around three meters tall at first, but it had grown wildly after the farm leveled up and was now almost six meters tall. Its thick trunk looked as if it had been growing for decades.
The drooping willow branches swayed in the wind, and a total of 18 of them flickered with a sparkling green light.
Jiang He's gaze twitched. He could sense a faint spirit ripple from the willow tree.
The fluctuation of this mental power was very weak, but it was slowly growing and strengthening.
"The willow tree is about to develop a sentience!"
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face. Now that the willow tree was around rank-seven, it would be equivalent to having a rank-seven grandmaster guarding the house if it really developed a sentience … Moreover, it had eighteen branches, and an average rank-seven grandmaster might not be able to stop it if they attacked all at once.
"Oh, right!"
"I got my hands on a mutated Boston Ivy from the Martial Arts Department (MAD) last time. That thing looks quite fierce, and it would be a good guard if I plant it."
With that thought, Jiang He took out the mutated Boston Ivy.
Once it was out, it began to attack Jiang He.
Once it was out, it began to attack Jiang He.
The many needles hidden beneath the leaves were tough and sharp enough to pierce through the True Qi protection of rank-seven grandmasters, but against Jiang He … crack. Several more needles were cut off.
Jiang He walked up to the wall, had Dumbo dig a hole, and simply threw the mutated Boston Ivy inside.
Then, he redeemed a pack of Mysterious Soil and poured in around a fifth of it.
After burying it, Jiang He took out a crystal bottle with a turn of his hand.
Inside the bottle was the rank-nine Origin Fluid he had redeemed from the Wei Clan.
Jiang He 'planted' the crystal bottle into the hole Dumbo dug and buried it without adding Mysterious Soil …
To him, this thing was a kind of beverage.
How was he supposed to drink it if the taste changed after he added Mysterious Soil?
There were still three mineral water bottles left from the willow tree's Origin Fluid, and Jiang He planted them on the ground as well.
After the Vitality Serum was planted, the vine of the mutated Boston Creeper broke out of the ground at the corner of the wall and grew rapidly. At first, it was only a bud, but in just a few minutes, it had grown into a vine. This vine climbed up the wall and branched out. These branches quickly turned into other vines, and in a short period of time, it had covered a section of the wall that was more than ten meters long.
That was when a sparrow descended from the distance, perhaps attracted by the greenness of the mutated vine.
In the next instant …
Snikt!
One of the Boston Ivy's vines wrapped around the sparrow and swallowed it whole.
